1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper—essential for preventing coconut oil-based dough from sticking.
2. Mix coconut flour, melted coconut oil, honey, applesauce, and egg in a large bowl using gentle, peaceful movements until you have this gorgeous golden dough.
3. Roll dough to 1/4 inch thickness on a floured surface and use cookie cutters to create calming shapes like circles or hearts.
4. Place cookies on your prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and smelling like a wellness spa.
5. Let cool completely before serving—this allows the soothing flavors to meld into perfect calming treats.

Notes:

• Not suitable for puppies under 1 year due to honey content—omit honey for younger dogs
• Amber finds these naturally relaxing and often settles down after enjoying them
• The tropical coconut aroma has a naturally calming effect on many dogs

Storage Tips:

• Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week
• The coconut oil content helps preserve them naturally while maintaining perfect texture
• Store in a cool, dry place to prevent the coconut oil from becoming too soft
• Toss if you see any mold or if they smell off
